Source: Arts & Economic Prosperity IV: The Economic Impact of Nonprofit Arts and Culture Organizations and Their Audiences in St. Louis City and County. For more information about this study or about other cultural initiatives in St. Louis City and County, visit the St. Louis Regional Arts Commission’s web site at www.stlrac.org. Copyright 2012 by Americans for the Arts (www.AmericansForTheArts.org). About This Study The Arts & Economic Prosperity IV study was conducted by Americans for the Arts to document the economic impact of the nonprofit arts and culture industry in 182 communities and regions (139 cities and counties, 31 multi-city or multi-county regions, and ten states, and two individual arts districts)—representing all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia. The diverse communities range in population (1,600 to more than 3 million) and type (rural to urban). The project economists, from the Georgia Institute of Technology, customized input-output analysis models for each participating study region to provide specific and reliable economic impact data about their nonprofit arts and culture industry—specifically (1) full-time equivalent jobs, (2) household income, and (3) local and (4) state government revenue. Surveys of Nonprofit Arts and Culture ORGANIZATIONS Each of the 182 study regions attempted to identify its comprehensive universe of nonprofit arts and culture organizations using the Urban Institute’s National Taxonomy of Exempt Entity (NTEE) coding system, a definitive classification system for nonprofit organizations recognized as tax exempt by the Internal Revenue Code. In addition, the study partners were encouraged to include other types of eligible organizations if they play a substantial role in the cultural life of the community or if their primary purpose is to promote participation in, appreciation for, and understanding of the visual, performing, folk, and media arts. These include government-owned or government-operated cultural facilities and institutions, municipal arts agencies and councils, private community arts organizations, unincorporated arts groups, living collections (such as zoos, aquariums, and botanical gardens), university presenters, and arts programs that are embedded under the umbrella of a non-arts organization or facility (such as a community center or church). In short, if it displays the characteristics of a nonprofit arts and culture organization, it is included. For-profit businesses (e.g., Broadway and motion picture theaters) and individual artists were excluded from this study. Nationally, detailed information was collected from 9,721 eligible organizations about their fiscal year 2010 expenditures in more than 40 expenditure categories (e.g., labor, local and non-local artists, operations, materials, facilities, and asset acquisition), as well as about their event attendance. Response rates for the 182 communities averaged 43.2 percent and ranged from 5.3 percent to 100 percent. It is important to note that each study region’s results are based solely on the actual survey data collected. No estimates have been made to account for non-respondents. Therefore, the less-than-100 percent response rates suggest an understatement of the economic impact findings in most of the individual study regions. In St. Louis City and County, 137 of the approximately 202 total eligible nonprofit arts and culture organizations identified by the St. Louis Regional Arts Commission participated in this study—an overall participation rate of 68 percent. The organizations that participated are listed below: Abhinaya; African Heritage Association of St. Louis; Alexandra Ballet; Art and Air -- An Outdoor Fair; Art Saint Louis; ArtDimensions of St. Louis; Arts and Education Council; Arts in Transit; Avalon Theatre Co.; Bach Society of St. Louis; Better Family Life; Black Cat Theatre; Carondelet Children's Chorus; Carondelet Community Betterment Federation; Caston Chamber Ballet; Center for Survivors of Torture & War Trauma; Center of Contemporary Arts (COCA); Chamber Players of St. Louis Inc.; CHARIS: The St. Louis Women's Chorus; Chesterfield Arts, Inc.; Childgrove Country Dancers; Cinema St. Louis; Circus Arts Foundation; Circus Harmony; Collegium Vocale of Saint Louis; Community Music School of Webster; Compton Heights Concert Band; Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis; Craft Alliance; Critical Mass for the Visual Arts; Cultural Festivals; Dance St. Louis; Dances of India; Dances of India Dance Festival; DaySpring School of the Arts; Eureka Arts Council; Fair St. Louis Foundation; Florissant Civic Center Theatre; Folk Fire Dance and Music; Folk School of St Louis; Fontbonne University; Gateway Festival Orchestra of St. Louis; Gateway Men's Chorus; Gitana Productions; Gitana Productions (Consortium); Grand Center, Inc.; Hispanic Festival; Holocaust Museum and Learning Center; HotCity Theatre; International Folk Dance Association of U.

  • Dramaturgical Applications of Shamanic Healing for Social Change
    Dramaturgical Applications of Shamanic Healing for Social Change John Patrick Brunner, Jr. Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Fine Arts in the Theatre Department of the School of the Arts Columbia University April 23, 2021 As I began to formulate my thoughts around my selected thesis topic, I could not help but consider the current context and consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. While some of my friends and colleagues encouraged me to write on my vision of a post-pandemic theatre, I hesitated to do so as it is impossible to predict when this pandemic will end and where our society will be at that time. As theatres across New York and the country continue to remain closed, however, the economic and artistic toll our industry faces grows every day. Faced with a truly unprecedented crisis, a whole generation of theatre-makers will be impacted for decades to come. As a result, I feel inclined to look to the past and the origins of theatre to better articulate a vision for the future of our art form. At the center of that vision, in my opinion, there needs to be a better way to understand the stories theatre-makers put on stage and why these stories should be told. During my graduate studies I have found myself asking what we, as theatre practitioners, are missing when working on a production. I have continually felt my work, and much of the theatre in general, has been lacking something fundamental. That is not to say I have not been proud of some of my work- I certainly have- but I feel, nevertheless, something essential remains missing at the core of my various projects.
